Always carry a good book. It is a rule that can carry you through those times when waiting is the order of the day. After an eight hour drive to Washington DC last Thursday and then a visit to the payroll department at National University Law School all I got was an appointment with the president (of the school not the country) for Friday. With time to kill I visited Legal Seafood for dinner. Legal Seafood is famous for clam chowder but let’s face it, famous clam chowder is still clam chowder so I had what turned out to be the best crab cakes I had ever eaten. I finished my evening by soaking in a warm bath and reading the last three chapters of Murder Takes the Cake by Gayle Trent. It was a great read, filled with characters with great names like Yodel Watson and her sisters Harmony and Melody. The plot line was intriguing with loads of possible murder suspects. The characters rang true, they reminded me of my grandmother’s Eastern Star friends. I found myself wondering if Gayle’s grandmother knew mine. Anyway, it was nice to finish off a nearly pointless day with a good soak and a good read. Be careful when you read this book though because as you read you will finding yourself with a craving for cake.
